Spring Undergraduate Research Conference

I’ve recently gotten to participate in the Spring Undergraduate Research Conference due to a scholarship I have. At first I was very nervous and anxious about presenting my poster and I was more concerned about other work I had to do. But now after I have had this experience I am very grateful to have gone. It was a great opportunity for me to see other research my peers are involved with on campus and learn something new outside of my major. It was also fulfilling to explain what I’ve been doing in my research at Purdue and help others understand and learn something new.

I highly recommend being involved in research at Purdue, even if it’s working in a lab for a semester or two. You will learn so much and will have opportunities to participate in things like the research conference. The Office of Undergraduate Research also has scholarships that pair you with a mentor to get involved in research, as well as other scholarships available for being involved in research.
